"a woman in her 80s was struck by a vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign while turning right onto eastbound Roblin Boulevard from Hunterspoint Road on Sept. 29"

Police response - "This isn’t just about who’s at fault"

It absolutely is.

Hunters Point shocker! Avg sold prices tumbled 63%—from $1.15M to $420K in just 2 months—while days on market spiked 85% (98 to 181 days). Is the market cooling or offering bargains? #SFRealEstate #HuntersPoint #Housing

Penn's issue is that the PRR wanted to split up commuter and long-distance riders (unlike GCT) - hence the H&M and their involvement with the IRT. Commuters were "supposed to" change to local subways at Newark, Exchange Place, Atlantic Terminal, and (to a lesser extent) Hunterspoint Av.

I think we’d be seeing a lot of LIRR ➡️ 7 transfers at Hunterspoint Ave in the next few years.

Depending on where you are starting from at GCT (e.g. the Lexington Avenue Line platforms at Grand Central), it's actually faster to get to the LIRR platforms at **HUNTERSPOINT AVENUE** than the far end of the caverns at GCT!

Much like UFOs, until I see them with my own eyes I refuse to believe in trains that stop at Hunterspoint Avenue
An railroad platform extends into the distance, flanked by one track on either side. Overhead is an electronic sign that reads, “No trains for next 8 hours / Use TrainTime app to find next train”.

on the one hand, it's a shame that Hunterspoint Avenue locks you into Long Island City which really limits the service to it.

on the other hand, I would imagine the ERT's would work a lot worse had PRR/LIRR built a station ~500 feet west of F Tower lol.

A fire in the East River tunnels has shut down almost all LIRR service into and out of Penn Station.

While disasters like this are thankfully rare, they highlight the value of an emergency operations plan—especially for a railroad with as many terminals as the LIRR.

www.etany.org/statements/m...
Penn Station Fires and the Value of an Emergency Plan May 15, 2026 On Thursday, May 14, a midday fire knocked out two of the four East River tunnels that the Long Island Rail Road uses to access Penn Station. Because one additional tunnel was closed for a long-term overhaul, this left only a single track for all trains between Penn Station and Long Island during May 15th’s AM rush. This has caused massive disruptions: at first, the LIRR suspended most service west of Jamaica. Since then, the railroad has begun to divert some trains to Grand Central Madison (GCM) and Atlantic Terminal as it very slowly resumes operations to Penn Station. Before going further, it is important to note that this is not an ordinary week for the LIRR. The railroad is preparing for a possible strike beginning at Midnight, which should it not be called off at the last minute would prevent any trains leaving terminals as of that time. This further complicates the situation by requiring the agency to modify schedules and make other preparations to ensure that trains are in locations that permit for a rapid resumption of service if the potential strike ends. For more info on the strike, the LIRR has set up an information page with final trains, and alternative service. ETA encourages straphangers to keep an eye on LIRR social media and alerts for the latest strike information. Fires and other severe disruptions are thankfully rare, and ETA is happy that no one has been injured. At the same time, thanks to its redundancy, the LIRR can and should develop emergency service plans that can be implemented on short notice for major disruptions like this1. This is not unprecedented. Trains on NJ Transit’s Morris & Essex, Montclair-Boonton, and Gladstone Lines that normally run into Penn Station via MidtownDIRECT are being diverted to Hoboken Terminal under an emergency operations plan. From there, riders can take PATH... read the rest on etany.org diesel branch trains to Hunterspoint Ave, and has not to the station past Hunterspoint Ave, Long Island City, which can not take full length trains. Significant numbers of trains in the reverse-peak direction were cancelled, or truncated at Jamaica. By sending trains to its other terminals, the LIRR could offer the following connections: To Atlantic Terminal: ● 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R at Atlantic Terminal ● A/C at Nostrand Ave ● L at East New York To Hunterspoint Ave and Long Island City: ● E/F/M/R at Forest Hills ● 7 at Woodside ● 7/G at Hunterspoint Ave ● 7 at Long Island City To Grand Central Madison: ● 4/5/6/7/Times Square Shuttle At Grand Central Station ● Metro-North Railroad at Grand Central Terminal This emergency operation would offer Long Island riders transfers to every subway line except the 1, the Franklin Avenue shuttle, and the Rockaway Park Shuttle. The $11 billion Grand Central Madison was a questionable piece of transportation planning, as it split service into Manhattan two termini2. The one clear advantage of this set up, however, is that it provides redundancy in case of disasters like this. Grand Central Madison was designed to easily handle 24 tph (trains per hour), but even in these emergency conditions, the LIRR was not running a full complement of trains to its only active Manhattan terminal. Indeed, for today’s PM rush, the railroad was only showing 10 tph from 4-5 pm, 15 tph from 5-6 pm, and 12 tph from 6-7 pm, on to TrainTime as of mid-afternoon on May 15th3. It then placed a number of diversions on the status page on mta.info with notes that other trains going to Penn Station are cancelled. Of course, a major railroad like the LIRR cannot completely change its schedule and operations on a moment’s notice: schedules are written assuming that trains and crew will be in certain places at certain times. Given the amount of redundancy in the LIRR system, however, it ... read the rest on etany.org
